Nichols said his department is still trying to determine what was used to start the fire.
no one was injured in the blaze.
Anyone recall where Ruby Tuesdays was located? I assume it was on South Broadway.
Hope no one is waiting for a reply, as it’s been awhile. Yes, Ruby Tuesdays was on Broadway. I can remember several other nightclub’ish establishments on that stretch of road back in the 70’s. No idea why, I was too young to get in the door. Ball N’ Jacks was also somewhere on Broadway, as well as ( do I really have to say it? ) the Tender Trap.
Hope this helps 🙂
